Only somewhat related but what I'd really like to see is an investigation as to why Firefox takes so long to acquire a connection on Linux. I suppose it could be something particular to my setup but it is very slow in comparison to 'ungoogled-chromium' which I keep around as a second browser. On the network tab I routinely find Firefox in a 'blocked' state for 100ms. On chrome this rarely exceeds 1ms. I've tried messing around with various configuration options and haven't found an answer. The end result is Chrome feeling much snappier.
